A new answer for a famous question

According
to Al-Mada local newspaper, a state-run woman-related body has issued
dictations on what is not allowed to be worn by female employees in
government ministries and institutions.

The
daily posted a document issued by the Supreme National Committee to
Develop the Iraqi Woman in which it refers to previous documents from
the Cabinet's Secretariat General and the Oil Ministry dated back to
last October.

The
banned clothing are tight body shirts, tight pants, colorful and showy
shirts, short skirts and slipper-like flat shoes. The ban entered into
effect on 1st of January.

That's
one of the answers to the famous question: What direction Iraq is
heading? It is heading to an Iranian-like government that is run by
turbans.

“We called it our Berlin Wall,” said Saad Khalef, 41, told The NYT on March 6 story as he surveyed the newly uncovered ground where the walls had stood, as crushed and pale as the skin beneath a bandage. “Now we can breathe easy. Yesterday, I felt a breeze coming through, I swear to God.”The NYT's Anthony Shadid in a piece on Jan. 6, 2011 two days after Muqtada Al-Sadr's return from nearly four-year self-imposed exile in Iraq: In 2004, an American spokesman in Baghdad called Mr. Sadr “a two-bit thug.” On Wednesday, the State Department spokesman, Philip J. Crowley, called him “the leader of an Iraqi political party that won a number of seats in the March 2010 election.”
